How IPL Pigmentation Treatment Works: A Complete Guide

Struggling with Pigmentation? You’re Not Alone.

Concerns like sunspots, freckles, redness, and uneven skin tone are common—but they don’t have to be permanent. At The Dermal Space, we offer advanced solutions using IPL pigmentation treatment and plasma energy to help you achieve clearer, smoother, and more even-toned skin—without downtime or harsh resurfacing.

If you’re looking for a trusted place for pigmentation treatment in Melbourne, keep reading—we’re about to walk you through everything you need to know.

IPL Pigmentation Treatment: What Is It?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-invasive treatment that targets unwanted pigmentation using controlled bursts of broad-spectrum light. Unlike traditional lasers that use a single focused beam, IPL emits a range of wavelengths that selectively target pigment in the skin—while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed.

Think of it as a smart, precise treatment that breaks down excess melanin so your body can naturally clear it away.

At The Dermal Space, we use this technology as part of our Pigmentation and Vascular Treatment in Melbourne, combining precision and comfort for the best results possible.

How Does It Work?

When we perform an IPL pigmentation treatment, our device sends controlled light pulses into the skin. The pigmented cells absorb this light, which heats them up and breaks them apart. These damaged cells then rise to the surface and eventually flake off, revealing fresher, clearer skin underneath.

This method is mild yet efficient in treating:

• Sunspots

• Freckles

• Age spots

• Redness and broken capillaries

The same technology also helps improve overall skin texture and tone, making your skin not just clearer but also brighter and smoother too.

The Treatment Experience at The Dermal Space

Let’s walk you through what a treatment session looks like:

Personalised Consultation

Every skin type is different, so we begin with a full skin analysis to assess your skin tone, concerns, and pigmentation depth. This allows us to customise a treatment plan for optimal results and safety.

Preparing Your Skin

Your skin is cleansed, and a cooling gel is applied. This protects the skin and enhances the comfort and effectiveness of the treatment.

Targeted Light Pulses

Using an advanced IPL handpiece, we deliver tailored light pulses to the target areas. Our devices feature interchangeable filters (420–1200nm), allowing us to select the precise wavelength needed for your concern.

Cooling Technology

Our device includes a sapphire plate cooling system that keeps your skin cool before, during, and after treatment.

Aftercare

After treatment, your skin might look a bit pink, like a mild sunburn, but this goes away quickly. We’ll provide clear aftercare instructions to protect your results and support skin recovery.

Why Choose The Dermal Space?

We’re not just another skin clinic—we’re dedicated to offering safe, customised pigmentation treatments that deliver visible, lasting results. Here’s what sets us apart:

• Professional Mode Precision—Professional mode settings allow precise adjustments for your unique skin profile.

IPL vs Plasma: What’s the Difference?

Both IPL and plasma treatments effectively address pigmentation, but they work in different ways:

• IPL uses light to selectively heat and break down pigment.

• Plasma creates micro-sparks to gently desiccate pigmented lesions, which flake away during healing.

Both are non-invasive, low-downtime options—but the best choice depends on your skin type, concern, and treatment goals. Our team will guide you through the most suitable approach during your consultation.

Is This Treatment Right for You?

Our Pigmentation and Vascular Treatment may be ideal if you’re dealing with:

✔️ Sunspots or freckles

✔️ Uneven skin tone

✔️ Visible veins or redness

✔️ Post-inflammatory pigmentation

Suitable for a variety of skin types, this treatment is non-invasive, with minimal downtime—making it perfect for busy lifestyles.

When Will I See Results?

Most clients notice an improvement after just 1–2 sessions. For best results, we typically recommend a course of treatments spaced a few weeks apart. As pigmented cells naturally exfoliate, you’ll notice skin that’s brighter, smoother, and more even with each session.
